1st Amendment Still Alive?

You have to wonder about the Senate and their early activities in regards to the Natural Born Citizen issue. The Senate, around February at least, began to introduce S.R. 511, a non-binding resolution declaring John McCain as a “natural born citizen” which I noted in this blog. In addition, Missouri Senator Claire McCaskill offered that bill and it was co-sponsored by Obama and Hillary. But the intent is even more insidious. McCaskill was the lead campaign head for Obama in Missouri for the Missouri Governor. She threatened with the prosecutorial zeal to sue people who had anything negative to say about Obama. McCaskill and Chairman Patrick J. Leahy already had lawyers submit a brief-like proposal to the Senate, which included arguments for United States vs. Wong Kim Ark. The MSM has arrived late to the party. The documentation of the Senate manipulating the “natural born citizen” clause is available. Contained in those links is also the Missouri Governor’s warning of the situation and naming Sen. Claire McCaskill.

The First Amendment should still count for something.

Obama SCOTUS & Annenberg

From 1995-1999 Obama was a founding chairman of the board of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge (CAC); at the same time, Chief Justice Roberts was a part of the Annenberg effort to educate high school kids. Today, Roberts is not hearing challenges to Obama's Natural Born Citizen status. I wonder if some intrepid reporter could find further links between Obama, Roberts, and the Foundation.

Failures Helped

Obama stated that "the auto companies must not squander this chance to reform bad management practices." But in business there is something called throwing good money after bad and this is what the Bush-Obama gang doing. Obama went on to state that this is a "critical industry." Why it is critical he did not say. Today, it is not a critical industry to the U.S. It is a regional industry that has squandered its preeminent position in the world. The only thing America gets out of it are the things that interest Obama: "the millions of American jobs," meaning of course, voters that he will obtain as a result of additional fiscal irresponsibility as in comparable periods of economic instability.

And why is the industry unstable? A number of factors could be mentioned such as the addiction to building gas guzzling SUVs that America did not need at the time of a fuel crisis. Another problem is the lack of Detroit to grasp that they needed to be competitive with practical, fuel-efficient, foreign cars. Detroit lost many Americans who would have preferred to buy American products when they failed to be attentive to issues of quality. Rather than investing in hybrids, Detroit allowed the foreign car manufacturers to scoop up that market. The benefits paid out to American workers, because of the Unions, priced themselves out of a competitive employee market. And last but not least, Ford CEO Alan Mulally, who makes about $12 million, and the ridiculously high salaries paid to heads of companies who lead failing companies is just out of control. Detroit caused its own problems, violated free market principles, and no one, not even a Republican Bush will allow the market to rule the economy.

Berg Writ Update

Justice Kennedy denied another application for an injunction to stay the Electoral Vote Count. However, the Berg Writ of Certiorari is still pending and is now scheduled for Conference before the U.S. Supreme Court on 9 January 2009.

Clinton Financed by Foreign Interests

"Slick Willie" released a list of his financial supporters. Among the donations to the William J. Clinton Foundation are included amounts of $10 million to $25 million from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, and real estate mogul Stephen Bing. Clinton agreed to the release the list after Obama nominated Hillary to become secretary of state.

The governments of Kuwait and Qatar are also on the list, as is Saudi businessman Nasser Al-Rashid, who has close ties to the Saudi royal family. Saudi Sheikh Mohammed H. Al-Amoudi, reputed to be one of the richest men in the world, is among the donors as well. Both Saudis contributed in the $1 million to $5 million range. A group called Friends of Saudi Arabia and the Dubai Foundation appear in the same category. What influence do these people have on the government of the U.S.?

Indian businessman Lakshmi Mittal also donated between $1 million and $5 million, as did the Open Society Institute, which wealthy businessman George Soros founded. Israeli-born television owner Haim Saban, who runs the Spanish-language TV station Univision, donated between $5 million and $10 million personally or through his foundation. The two biggest donors are UNITAID, an international organization that purchases drugs for the world's poorest people, and the Children's Investment Fund Foundation, both of which donated more than $25 million.

The full 2,922-page list of contributors is available. It includes only donation ranges, not specific amounts, and no information about donors beyond their names.

Affidavit Doubts Obama Birth Address

Jorge Baro, a private investigator, has released an affidavit that casts doubt on whether Obama's family lived at the address listed in the published notice of his birth in 1961. Baro's affidavit documents an interview his staff conducted with Beatrice Arakaki, who has lived at 6075 Kalanianaole Highway in Honolulu since before Obama was born.

"Known Unknowns"

A U.S. Government publication written by Lt. Col. (USA Ret.) Nathan Freier entitled
“Known Unknowns: Unconventional Strategic Shocks in Defense Strategy Development” warns of “strategic shocks.” The author posits domestic events which our federal government, defense, and intelligence agencies are woefully ill-equipped to deal with.

Obama: "uhh, uhh, ahh, uhh..."

We should all be listening to how Obama answers questions, or as the case may be, avoid them, to see how transparent he is. Obama was asked a question about Rahm Emanuel's contacts with Governor Blagojevich, by reporter John McCormick of the Chicago Tribune. Obama cut him off and responded by telling McComrmick not to "...waste your question," and then he stumbled through his "uhh, uhh, ahh, uhh..." misspeaking as he does when he doesn't have a scripted answer, or a teleprompter.

Chomsky On Obama: Poor Judgment/Lack of Transparency

You know you are onto something when Noam Chomsky begins to say Obama is Bush, Part II.

Chomsky is about as far Left as one can get without biting Marx on the nose but he is criticizing Obama for his lack of transparency and his poor judgment of appointees.

80% Approval Rating for An Unemployed Man

A poll conducted by CNN concluded that Obama had an 80% approval rating which I found curious. He resigned from the Senate, he is not working as the President, thus, he is unemployed. Nonetheless, the American people rated his job performance exceptionally well. This is quite an achievement for an unemployed person.

Britain Successful in Iraq

Despite the shoe throwers, the stone throwers, the bombs, and militias, British troops will begin leaving Iraq in May 2009. Bush forged a coalition of the willing to oust dictator Saddam Hussein. If the U.S. had stayed the course in Somalia, we might have had less of an issue with pirates around the Horn of Africa, but Iraq has made remarkable progress. If a commitment to democracy continues, Iraq could have an historically positive effect in the region.

Honorable Iraqi Insults American Head of State

An "honorable Iraq," Muntadhar al-Zaidi, threw his shoes at the American head of state, and, as all weak nations, America, and Americans, are barely offended at all.

1984 Obama

The Official Gazette of Illinois published this article and photo on 12 November 2008 when the story promoted the idea that Obama was concerned about his constituents. The article said:

After congratulating President-elect Barack Obama on his Nov. 4 victory, Governor Rod Blagojevich now begins the difficult task of finding a replacement for Illinois’ Senate seat.

And the caption under the photo reads:

Governor Blagojevich confers with now President-elect Barack Obama.

The story has been scrubbed.

As reported earlier, a second KHQA story, originally published on 8 November, has also been scrubbed. That KHQA post confirmed that the 5 November meeting between Obama and Blagojevich took place.

Shock Unrest Possible: Army War College Report

A “strategic shock” describes a possible scenario by the U.S. Army War College’s Strategic Institute including the collapse of a nuclear state to massive unrest in the United States. “Widespread civil violence inside the United States would force the defense establishment to reorient priorities in extremis to defend basic domestic order and human security,” stated the report, authored by retired Lt. Col. Nathan Freir.

Dec 15 2008 Application (08A469) denied by the Court

* Former presidential candidate Alan Keyes headlines a list of people filing a suit in California that asks the secretary of state to refuse to allow the state's 55 Electoral College votes to be cast in the 2008 presidential election until Obama verifies his eligibility to hold the office. The case is pending.

Private investigator Douglas Hagmann of HomelandSecurityUS.com reported earlier he found 13 cases challenging Obama's eligibility still active or semi-active.

Without additional documentation, we are facing a constitutional crisis if our troops and citizens refuse to obey a government that does not follow previous procedures and legal precedent.

Rev. James David Manning on The Elect

Atlah Worldwide is the home of Reverend James David Manning, PhD who posts his sermons on YouTube. The Pastor has a respectable resume including having held corporate jobs as a marketing executive with Proctor & Gamble and Ford Motor Company. He gained wider circulation with typical sermons such as "Obama Got a White Mama." In this sermon Pastor Manning attacks Barack Obama and calls his whole congregation "maggots" and "despicable hypocrites without honor or integrity" because they didn't vote for Hillary Clinton and are supporting Barack Obama. Reverend Manning states "black men don't have a pot to piss in or a window to throw it out of." He describes the Black community as "all black men pimps and playas and black women playa lovers." He evokes the wrath of God and condemns his congregation to "boiling egg shells to make soup and scraping up pigeon droppings to make gravy to put on egg shells to eat."

Chicago Buddies in Happier Times

They endorsed and worked for one another in Illinois politics so there were happier times for The Elect and Blagojevich.

Islamic Symbol Sits On Top of Christmas Tree

"I said 'Oh, there's a menorah and a Christmas tree and where is my crescent?'" said resident Asad Jilani.

Thus, a decision by Armonk, N.Y. officials resulted in an Islamic star and crescent on top of the community's Christmas tree and a menorah.

How fair is this to Islam? Not at all since the faith has nothing to do with the religious tradition of the season nor does it relate directly to the cultural expression of the Christmas season.

All Bull Bias: Campbell Brown

In a story about transparency and The Elect, I merely posted a list of paper documentation not released by Obama but it was censored by Brown. It serves little purpose to allow some comments to be made but to censor the points that disagree with the MSM. Brown is all bull.
